Are you still in short EUR/JPY? I'm guessing your stop triggered on this one.

Bad luck, onto the next one.
Anyone found any good trades lately?

I have to admit I am struggling after the first week on demo went so well, I have not been able to catch any good runs the last 2 weeks, most hitting S/L or B/E.

But if it is true that Foreign Exchange markets are only trending 30% of time maybe it is not surprising.
HB & Gary,

Thanks for your thoughts on the AUD probable movement. I wanted to ask thea reasons for your outlook? After reading your comments, I took a look at the Daily and Weekly charts - both seem to show the AUD at the beginning of an uptrend resumption abd both show bullish HA candles.

Is your bearish outlook due to price action still being below the 100 sma?

I'm eager to learn, so your feedback is very much appreciated...

Thanks

Don't ask me, I have no idea what's going on.
I finally closed my e/$ position from yesterday with a very slight profit. With the upcoming EU summit and a US holiday next week this might be a good time to sit on my hands and just watch although news of any sort from the summit could affect prices, I have a hard time with patience.
Close +8 pips EG on long.

Aud is reducing interest rates which generally leads to lower prices despite the fact the interest rate differential between it and other currencies is still high.

Just closed my dj30 trade a little earlier than I would like. Made a good profit. It's pulling back a bit further than I thought it would.

Thanks for the sound fundamental reasoning Hugh. If not for the interest rates, is my read correct regarding the charts and the decision to go Long? I'm wanting to be sure I'm picking up this strategy. I'm also considering using the H4 strategy, since I work full time and can't watch the market hourly (especially at night - need my zzzz's). Would you suggest and H4/M30 as opposed to the D1/H1 - or should I look more to a W1/H4 strategy?

Thanks,

Thanks HB, will do... Another question for you regarding this thread. In light of your current D1/H1 strategy, what now are your thoughts about your original H4 strategy?

No problem. The d1/hourly is just an attempt to increase the probability of catching a good, long trend so we can add on and make a tidy profit. I still believe the original system has merit on it's own for taking quick, high probability trades on any timeframe. I don't currently trade 4 hour candles but if that timeframe suits you try looking at the weekly chart for more direction. When the two timeframes go in the same direction you will have higher probability of catching a good move.

Thanks for not only the suggestion, but also the timely replies, HB. I was thinking the same thing regarding the Weekly/H4 idea - sounds like a natural step up from D1/H1, in terms of MTF trend seeking...

I got stopped out of short EUR/NOK for 1% loss of capital and have moved my stop to breakeven on short EUR/USD (currently sitting on a small profit). I have just entered long NZD/USD and USD/JPY as the 4hr HA shows the start of an uptrend and I believe this is consistent with the D trend. I'm risking 1% of capital on each of these two.
I got stopped out of long USD/JPY (1% loss of capital). Still long NZD/USD (surging upwards) and just entered long EUR/USD. Finally we are seeing some movement on EUR/USD, and based on 4hr HA I am prepared to bet that a bullish trend is building (or, to be more accurate, bearish USD). Will be moving stops to breakeven once 50 pips profit touched. Anyone else agree with this sentiment?

No, personally I think eurusd is just pulling back a little in a downtrend. It's hard to say what it will do after today though due to the EU summit. I'm not trading it today.

I'm long usdjpy this morning after the nice bounce from the daily trendline.
It looks like the audcan will be ready within a few hours.

To get more profit, not the entry but the exit will make the big difference
